List of Cyrillic letters

Abkhazian Ha (majuscule:Ҩ, minuscule:ҩ) is a letter of the Cyrillic alphabet used in the Abkhaz language and placed between "O" and "Π" in the alphabet. This letter represents the labial-palatal approximant /ɥ/, the sound of "u" in French "luit." When romanized, it is written as an "o" with a small dot below the letter. It bears various similarities to the Greek letter theta (Θ/θ)

[edit] Unicode

In the Unicode character repertoire, the letter is called CYRILLIC CAPITAL/SMALL LETTER ABKHASIAN HA and has a code 04A8 for a capital letter and 04A9 for the small one.

In early Unicode versions (1.0), the letters have been called CYRILLIC CAPITAL/SMALL LETTER O HOOK, having the same codepoints as today.
